My plan was to use Skybolts on the upper cowl where it attaches to the firewall. I reasoned that hinges could be used on the lower cowl firewall and upper cowl attachment since the hinges are more accessible.....I thought.
But, the Skybolt flanges kinda get in the way of this plan where the firewall hinge pin would ordinarily be extracted. I know I have seen ships with this arrangement and now wonder how the pin is removed with the Skybolt flanges where they are.
Pulling the pin out is possible, but great binding will ensue and I am not sure it could be re-inserted.
